Kitchen Appliances for Every Modern Home

Over the years, I have always had my kitchen furnished with good appliances that I think will make it fast and comfy to work in. I recently decided to upgrade my cooktop. I will be honest, my hunt for the perfect cooktop has taken a lot of effort and extra search-tours around town because I was so particular about how well it must fit in my cooking zone. Though a bad cook, I am the type who loves home cooked food as much as I love partying and gossiping with my friends. I finally found the fabulous GE CGP650SETSS café 36” Stainless steel Gas Cooktop.

Powerful Burners

This elegant gas cooktop comes in 5 sealed burner elements that enable me to do diverse cooking at a time. With a powerful central burner of 20,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) that can cook gallons at a time, I made extensive use of it when I happen to have lots of guests, especially during family feast. The tri-ring burner is perfect for heating water, too, while the other burners on the corners help in low heating. Well, the burners can heat much stronger than I need and it actually has simmer burners that works incredibly precise to help me regulate the temperature. These smaller burners can be used for melting butter and is perfect for heating delicate food. Except for burner 2 and 4(9100BTU), all the other burners have different heating intensity; burner 1 has 11000BTU and burner 3 has 5000 BTU.

It has the Commercial Look

I like to get the feel of the appliances before I buy them. Well it was exciting to get the sturdy feel of the stainless steel body, the finished look and the perfect size (36 x 20.4 x 3.25 inches) when I first saw it in the store. I am still impressed with the bold grid design and the excellent way it functions till now. That was probably why I recommended it to my brother and he got one from Amazon too. I only wish I had bought mine from an online retailer too after I saw how my brother’s came in perfect shape; it is simply impossible for the sturdy body to get damaged while shipping. Its weight, 80.4 pounds, is slightly heavier than most of the normal cooktops. You may find it difficult to shift it, but it is an advantage for me; only makes it stand more stable in my kitchen.

Reliability and Performance

I have begun to develop a certain trust in GE brand ever since I got this gas cooktop. Though it belongs to one brand among many in the range of expensive gas cooktops, the performance is simply amazing. Besides the ‘precise simmer burner’, I also love features like the large control knobs. Besides, a cooktop will stay longer with us than any or most of our other appliances, and when I really think of it, even our cars. So, “why not invest a reasonable amount,” was what I thought when I went to buy mine.

It is easy to install and has a perfect set of burner sizes and the right combo of heat intensities enhanced by the low simmer setting (which assures you high quality volt burner controls). Yes it allows me to prepare two dishes at a time. The features and performance are indeed versatile. The overall build quality is commendable; with heavy cast iron grates and the griddle made by a reliable brand, Lodge. Most importantly, the manufacturer offers 10 years warranty.

Safety

This GE gas cooktop also has the blue LED lights projection that indicates that the gas burner is left on. For absent minded cooks like me, it is a good feature that will ensure safety from gas hazards. While the child lock feature will prevent accidental activation while you are cleaning.

Special Features

I especially like the distancing of the burners which is distinctive in the GE CGP650SETSS Café 36” Stainless Steel Gas Cooktop. If you usually cook a lot like me, you will understand when I say that because there is more distance between the burners than in other cooktops, it allows for a more even heating. Besides, the griddles stand up a little higher from the burners, which allows for a more efficient heating compared to normal gas cooktops.

The sealed burners give protection from the mess of spillage which instead gets collected in the dishwasher –safe under the grates, which makes cleaning much easier. The stainless surface cleans beautifully.

Conclusion

This GE gas cooktop is like a boon for someone who cooks as much as I do. In style, quality, performance and appearance, it is just excellent. Note that the fuel type it uses is Propane gas. Personally, I prefer gas cooktops more than induction cooktops because the flames of a gas cooktop give a more consistent heating of the cookware unlike an induction cooktop which heats only the bottom. Well, if cooking is a daily affair for you and if you like kitchen friendly appliances, I highly recommend the GE CGP650SETSS 30” Stainless Steel Burner Cooktop.

Ever imagined cooking without having to worry about checking on it more often than on your children or your other chores? Interestingly, I have realized that my new rice cooker that I got gifted by a good friend on the day I moved to a new place could help me do it. She probably knows that I am extremely health conscious and that I make it a point to make a head-start in the morning with healthy and fresh food. I do have a very hectic lifestyle and I need to do my work while cooking without muddling up both. All thanks to my considerate friend, I could actually manage to steam my vegetables perfectly for breakfast with my new rice cooker, the Instant Pot-DUO60, before I drive off to work.

The Instant Pot- DUO60 rice cooker comes in two colors; stainless steel and black, and exclusively one price range of about $139. Well, I was such a big fan of my new rice cooker that I had to checked out the price and when I saw how reasonably priced it was, I was thrilled—I won’t mind buying another one, and actually, I did too.

Made of durable and resilient stainless steel material, you do not have to worry about it getting rusted when you scrub and rinse it daily with water. Besides, it cleans easy and nice because it has a non-sticky stainless steel pot inside and the exterior is finger print resistant.

Dimension

With a convenient size of 12.2 x 13 x 12.6 inches, and weighing just 12 pounds, its decent and polished appearance dazzled me when I first opened my gift packet. I do love the stylish look it sports.

Multi-Functional cooker

This rice cooker has 7 programmable functions including pressure cooking, slow cooking, steaming, sauté or browning, and warming. I find the 14 built-in programs smart indeed; I managed to cook all my favourite dishes and more; ranging from porridge and yoghurt to soup and steamed vegetables to meat as well as pasteurized and fermented rice, without the need of turning on my kitchen cooktop.

But it’s perfect for quickly steaming sweet corn, baby carrots and green peas, whether fresh or frozen. And what is more, it has very simple usage instructions, as easy as the press of a button. I love the fact that you need not watch over it, like when you are preparing for an entrée of chili.

The variety of recipes that can be adapted to instant pot cooking is tremendously improved in this model because it also has three adjustable modes in slow cook and sauté programs. For me, the specialty of this feature is that it includes three temperatures in sauté; browning, simmering and thickening. Most of my traditional recipes go well with my Instant Pot rice cooker.

Of course, we cannot expect a rice cooker to dry fry, but I can assure you that cooking in this rice cooker definitely retains the freshness and the aroma of food.

Uncompromised Safety Measures:

This Instant Pot DUO60 has the latest generation technology microprocessors embedded in it, which monitors the temperature, pressure and timer, and simultaneously adjusts the heating intensity and duration. It considers even the volume of food, which maintains consistency. It has always given me dependable results.

I have to admit that I make many absent minded errors while cooking but I can trust my Instant Pot DUO60 Rice Cooker, which is in fact designed to eliminate a lot of common errors. Moreover, it has 10 proven safety mechanisms certified by UCL and UL.

Special Features:

One of the useful and special features of this Instant Pot is the 24 hour timer that has allowed me to delay my cooking on a number of occasions. I also love the feature that automatically keeps food warm until I am ready to eat or serve.

Kitchen Friendly:

The slim body with small footprints, comfortably fits anywhere in an average kitchen like mine and can matches perfectly with other useful appliances. Also the 3-ply bottom makes cooking fast and powerful, and yet, it does not give out steam and heat up the room nor does it make much noise. It can cook two to six times faster when compared to cooking on conventional cookwares. Don’t you like the idea of such a more efficient Kitchen?

Categories of Cooktops

Want to find out more about cooktops? Here’s my research:

Electric Cooktops

Electric cooktops comes in a wide range of burner types – hotplates, coils and induction. The use of electric appliances in a way redefined cooking; it has enhanced the efficiency of heating and made things more convenient. Fuel efficiency is a major factor in the functioning of any appliance, and because electric current is far more plausible than other type of fuels, cooking became smoother. With improved heating elements, electric cooktops revolutionized cooking.

Hotplates and Coil Cooktops, usually made of Die Cast Metal, delivers faster and more consistent heat compared with gas cooktops. They both are more or less the same except for the fact that Hotplates have smoother burners which make it easier to clean. Both of these appliances can attain exceptionally high temperatures and also the temperature control is a little more improved than gas cooktops. Except for the fact that electric cooktops have limits for cooking time, hotplates and coils have an upper hand because of their fuel efficiency. The high power consumption of these appliances may also be an issue but this is effectively altered in induction Cooktops.

Induction Cooktops are powerful and sophisticated devices with high energy efficiency. Power consumption is considerably low at around 1800 Watt compared to hotplate and coil types that consumes an average of 3300 Watts, and yet, it can heat as high as 460°F. The energy efficiency of induction cooktops are about 12% to 18% more than non-induction, smooth electric cooktops. Safety measures have reached a level of sophistication in which the cooktop burner have pan sensors that automatically switches off if it does not sense any cookware on it, which also prevents overheating. Induction cooktops have astonishingly quick and precise temperature control that allows you different levels of heating; warm, simmer, boil, sear. Besides, digital touch control is one of the most advanced features in induction cooktops that has bolstered a fine finesse in the culinary art. In style, induction cooktops usually have a sleek and smooth appearance coupled with high performance. Induction cooktop helps prepare food easily.

Gas Cooktops

Usually made of durable material and coated with stainless steel, gas cooktops are very convenient for homes. The number of burners differs in different models while the griddles are mostly iron cast. Gas Cooktops rely on gas fuels such as LPG and biogas. Set with rotary knobs for temperature control and ON/OFF, it is manually operated very easily. Some models are inbuilt and some portable. Most Gas cooktops are sturdy with powerful burners. This is the most commonly used cooktop and the most reasonably priced cooktops, in other words probably the bestseller cooktops. This is partly because gas cooktops do not confine us to ferromagnetic cookwares; it allows us to cook traditionally on any type of metal cookware.

What is remarkable about a Gas cooktop?

When it comes to portability, gas cooktops are a better choice than electric cooktops because small sized gas cylinders can conveniently be transported. Electric cooktops are limited to places where you can find a power outlet, so, gas cooktops will come in handy when you have plans to cook outdoors.

Conclusion

Ours is a world of technology that is undergoing a fascinating transformation; every home appliances are efflorescent with a variety of bold inventions—choose the ideal ones to suit your purpose. I have considered a number of choices in my attempt to upgrade to a better and more efficient cooktop. Over the couple of months that I have owned my GEPHP900DMBB induction cooktop, it is working excellently and you can take a look at its features if you like.

What is the use of going to coffee houses or a Café? Why should we spend 4 or 5 dollars a day for a cup of coffee? Going to a coffee house consumes time, money and labor. I have learnt that instead of going to a coffee house, having a coffee brewer at home is much more convenient with almost the same results that we get from our regular coffee houses. However, we are usually wrecked with which coffee brewer to buy. As per my research on home appliances and experience, among all coffee brewers available in the market, Tassimo coffee brewer offers the best working capacity, quality, efficiency and comfort. Tassimo coffee brewer is manufactured by Bosch, and is rated as one of the best selling coffee brewers. The device comes with a price tag of $144.30.

Why Should You Buy Tassimo Coffee Brewer?

The coffee brewer comes with certain profitable features:

The brewer comes with an automatic single-serve brewer.

There is no ruckus, no measuring and no cleaning in the brewer.

Availability of Adjustable Cup Stand

To adjust the height of the cup, the adjustable cup stand does a brilliant job. The handle on the water tank permits you to adjust the cup by sliding the tab with one finger.

Fully Automatic Brewer

At the touch of a button, the brewer consistently performs the function. If you want to brew a cup of coffee, the brewer would do the job within a minute.

Usefulness of T-Discs

The coffee foams depend on the stability of the T-Discs. Since the brewer is compact, the disk consumes a bit of space. The T-Disc is refillable and more commonly used. Unlike K-Cups, T-Discs are easily available in the market and this is also one primary reason why people preferred to use T-Discs. The advantage of cleaning disk is that you can spit out hot water from the brewer.

The Stand-By Mode System

To save energy, the brewer reverts automatically to the stand-by mode when it is not in use.

Limitations of the Brewer

Though the brewer is convenient to use there are slight drawbacks. The adjustable cup stand holds only finite mugs. So, the stand is adjustable only to smaller mugs. Secondly, the pods are hard to get and little expensive.

Comparison Between Tassimo and Keurig Machine

In comparison to Keurig machine, the Tassimo brewer is smaller in size. So, if your kitchen is too small, then Tassimo brewer will fit you well. Keurig machines are not capable of any foaming drinks like Tassimo does. Moreover, Keurig is slower in preparing a cup of coffee. Unlike Keurig you don’t need to insert the pods and wait for the machine to warm up. Instead, all you need to do is insert the pods and press the button, then in a minute, your choice of beverage would be ready.

Final Statement

The Tassimo brewer is easy to operate and quick to brew. In terms of quality and convenience, the brand is rated as one of the best selling brewer in the present market. You can also read review on Black and Decker programmable coffee maker.

Though some limitations are detected in this brewer, the variety of features and quality that it offers makes the brewer a unique brewer.

When it comes to choosing a cooktop, I guess we are all choosy because of the fact that there are many choices available. I had the same experience while hunting for my cooktop months back. Also, we have our own cooking styles and cooking requirements. We want and need a cooktop that we can rely on anytime. People who cook often or daily, or prepare food, will know how a good cooktop can make their kitchen chores a lot easier. More importantly, to cook any kind of food and to deliver good cooking results, you will need a cooktop with good modern features. Click here and check out the features and specifications of a good-quality cooktop.

Of the different types of cooktop available in the market today, electric cooktop is also one that you can rely on. Electric cooktops are generally cheaper than gas cooktop and electric modern induction cooktop, making it the No. 1 choice for those who are on budget. Easy installation process and easy maintenance are also some of the reasons why electric cooktop is still in great demand.

As hinted earlier, choosing which one to go for is very confusing. Here is a simple tip that will help you find your cooktop easily without wasting much time. First thing, decide on which one to go for—gas, electric, or induction cooktop. After deciding on that, you have to keep in mind how you will be using it or things like the kind of food that you would be cooking. You can also make your choice accordingly as there are cooktops that has one burner, two burners and even five burners.

Waring DB60- Efficient and Reliable

After reading reviews and features, I finally decided on Waring DB60 as I thought it will meet all my cooking requirements. And yes, it does and every single time I use it, I always thought I made the right choice. It is a 2 burner electric cooktop that practically does all the cooking in my kitchen. I decided on two burners for many reasons. With two burners, I can cook or prepare two different dishes at the same time, which also saves my time. It features one burner of 1300 watt and a smaller plate of 500 watt. Two burner is always better than one as it offers you one extra burner and it is of the right size (not too big and not so heavy). Two burners do not add that much extra weight and so portability is not an issue. I can shift my cooking place and cook where I want, provided there is a power outlet. Cooktops with only one burner can prolong your cooking time as you have to cook one at a time; and cooktops with 4 or 5 burners are normally large in size that it may challenge the portability of the unit. Mentioned above are the reasons why I picked a 2 burner cooktop.

More About DB60 Electric Cooktop

This cooktop has a dimension of 19.5 x 11.5 x 4 inches and it weighs 9 pounds. I like the fact that it features a non-slip rubber feet for firm setting. You will find two light indicators at the front panel that indicates whether you are in the ‘on’ and ‘ready to cook’ mode. I find the light indicator very helpful while cooking. The two burners can be adjusted or controlled separately, and both burners give you five different temperature settings. With the 5 temperature settings, you can possibly cook any kind of food. The larger plate with the higher watt can perform any major cooking while the smaller plate can accommodate any side dishes that require less cooking time.

If you prefer electric cooktop and look forward to cooking in style and comfort, Waring DB60 is a recommendable model. It is energy efficient, maintenance is easy, and yes, comparing the price and the performance it delivers, this model is good value for money.
